The bearded vulture is a large bird of prey native to mountainous regions of Europe, Africa, and Asia. Unlike most vultures, its diet consists primarily of bones, which it drops from great heights to crack open and access the nutritious marrow inside. This remarkable feeding behavior makes the bearded vulture one of the most specialized scavengers in the world.
